J.M. Silk

J.M. Silk is Steve "Silk" Hurley and Keith Nunnally. [b]J.M. Silk[/b] stands for [b]J[/b]ack [b]M[/b]aster [b]Silk[/b]. As a DJ, Steve Hurley was known around 1983-1984 as [a=Steve "Silk" Hurley]. Starting his producer career, he thought about changing his name to the Chicago House styled [i]Jackmaster Silk[/i] alias. But [a=Farley Keith Williams], at that time Steve's roommate, changed his name from [a=Farley "Funkin" Keith] to [a=Farley "Jackmaster" Funk] a week before Steve was able to launch a radio promo tape as [i]Jackmaster Silk[/i].
